This not only raises serious questions about your ability to serve as the head of the Justice Department, but also begs the question of why an anti-gun Administration would knowingly force licensed firearms dealers to sell guns to violent criminals. I raise this because Operation Fast and Furious — if the facts of this case […]

So… the epoxy resin product idea moves forward. Prototypes 1 & 2 (dry fly and telescope, respectively) are complete, installed on my Yaris bumper and looking pretty snazzy to my eyes anyway… The creation of a mold, the production of final product and the affixing to a vehicle all seem to be working out OK. […]

Many blogs make a big deal about their “blogoversary” or anniversary of their initial publication. CosmicConservative isn’t the oldest blog out there, but it’s been out there for a while. The first CC post was October 8, 2005, or just a few weeks more than six years ago. Since then there have been 5,294 posts, […]

Here’s a few photos of my prototype dry fly and telescope car decal/stickers… They are essentially plastic molded stickers, each about a quarter of an inch thick and about two inches high. They are currently glued on with superglue, but I am considering purchasing some rare earth magnets and casting them with the magnets inside […]

Heh… Tim Tebow looked like a total and complete bust for 55 minutes of today’s game. He even fumbled the ball once, but was lucky that the Broncos recovered.

That doesn’t include the potential additional trillions and trillions of dollars in “unfunded mandates” such as promises made by social security, medicare, obamacare, medicaid, etc… Gold is currently running at about $1,500 per ounce. So […]

I dunno if any of my readers are “Southpark” fans. I never watch it myself, but I still see enough references to the show to recognize this little cultural meme: 1. Collect used underpants 2. ? 3. PROFIT! The “joke” is that you can make money off of anything if you can only figure out […]

The Cosmic Daughter decided to take the same novel writing class I just completed. She was home from college this weekend and since we rarely head into downtown Denver, I took her downtown to show her how to find the building where the class is located. As it happens, we had to go down Colfax […]

Romarco Minerals Inc. reopened the historic Haile Gold Mine near Kershaw, S.C., this year and expects to pour its first gold bar there in early 2014, Chief Executive Diane Garrett told Reuters this week. Once environmental impact studies and permits are complete, Haile will be the only modern gold mine east of the Mississippi River, […]
